And that figure is.

still the same as of 2023 i had part one there's a lady who does tours there and corroborate the five percent figure and then there's a gentleman named hugh newman who's an author and also leads tours and he communicated with me that what they were going to do and i couldn't believe this they're going to defer a full-scale excavation for quote future generations with a 150 year estimated time frame for a full excavation of gobekli tepe and i'm like wait a second

Are you serious?

Like, this makes no sense.

We're talking about arguably not just the world's oldest ancient site, but arguably the most mysterious because it's like you were saying, it's not supposed to exist.

Based on everything we're taught in school, it's supposed to be the Sumerians.

And then you have the site of Gobekli Tepe made up of sophisticated pillars and concentric circles.

Yeah, that older than almost 7000 years older than Stonehenge and Stonehenge is a mystery of itself.

So I start looking and I start Googling and looking into the details.

I'm like, this doesn't make any sense.

How could there possibly be how could they defer excavations for future generations when this may be the most important ancient site on Earth involving our lost, our mysterious lost ancient past?

And so I started digging into this and I couldn't believe what I found.

So they were doing large scale excavations, but that has since ceased.

Just to clarify, they are still excavating Gobekli Tepe, but they have rolled and dialed back the large scale excavations of the years prior.

And they are focusing on conservation and tourism management of the site.

And like I said, with 150 year time frame and I'm like, wait a second.

I can't.

And I have all the screenshots in that folder.

Because of funding?
